This was a fun group, lots of the old school A51 gang. Lots of mumblechatter, name calling, insults, and general tom foolery. We covered just under 3 miles according to Geraldo’s tech package. We did a ton of merkins, and stomachs. Bulldog was rocking a sweet Christmas Vacation screen printed t-shirt about the only place he could wear it. Busch was so excited about posting he forgot his hat and gloves but the fro kept him warm. Great to see all the boys, even at 25 degrees.

Announcements: Busch, Bulldog, and Stone Cold are starting a new 3rd F after Friday workouts at Panera starting in January. Shore tried to name it manhole but Busch and Stone Cold didn’t think this group was mature enough to give proper respect to that title. It will be called Man Cave.

Also, big convergence at F3 Metro tomorrow for a brother (Bout time) with a sick child. Make it if you can.

Good mix of the boys out there today. Chin Music checked twice on me and Blazing once to make certain I was going to Q. You guys act like I don’t post anymore. Thanks for following my lead and working hard today guys. Not a whole lot of mumble chatter outside of Les Mis crop dusting the other bench, and a few comments wondering if it was going to be a kettlebell workout during the KB free warmup. Hope you got plenty of reps.

Have a fun Halloween and don’t eat any razors.

Hops, feel free to add all of the links to announcement festivities below.

Great old school group of F3 men out today. I haven’t been posting as much as I used to and am somewhat working on correcting that. Seeing all the boys is a good reminder as to why I need to. Alf brought the mumblechatter that I expect to hear at Kevlar with lots of comments, jabs, and whatever he could muster. Well done sir. Horsehead, even though he was demoted from site Q, still feels authoritative as the assistant to the management. There were some odd smells out there today, and thanks to a wind shift, the high pressure fart that Puddin tried to fire at me got diverted. That almost threw off the whole 6MOM pal. Good try Puddin, you earned the name Puddin Pop officially today. 16 is a good number considering the forecast, thanks for coming out gents. See you guys next week. Sound off on anything I missed or you would like to add.

Moleskine: I wanted to pull out a simple old workout that tests the grip strength and hits the total body. I also didn’t want to run. I think we did both. Plenty of mumblechatter at the beginning. It seemed to taper for those that were doing the workout. Thanks for following along and not abandoning for a jog. Baracus seemed a little like he would rather be doing something else but when I offered an olive branch to wrap up the swings at 400 he snapped the branch and threw it in the fire. #highT. He said we can’t having anyone freaking out out there, we’ve got to keep our composure, we’ve come too far! So we finished the 500 swings.
Thanks for allowing me to lead boys.

Moleskine:
Good work out there on a warm January morning. Everyone was pushing it including the splinter cell led by Doc McStuffins (still unsure on your step-up count but not surprised at the speed). Transporter, when did you show up? Asking for a friend. The field was a feather bed today. Are the kids at MRHS and MRMS so spoiled now that it doesn’t even hurt to fall down? Well it hurts to run on. Frack is a lucky man in my book, I don’t always have to use the restroom at F3 but when I do there’s never a porta jon sitting there. well done. Nobody touch those gloves. I’m still working my way back into shape so thanks for hanging with me today as we toured around the campus doing a myriad of old F3 exercises or calisthenics as I like to say this week. Sign up to Q Dromedary. Link is below.

Moleskine: I leave for years and this is one of the few places I can come back and everything is the same except for my training. Same amount of refuseniks, and definitely the highest amount of methane in the A51 region. I finished it off as champion putting Spackler in the car after he chewed on one. Good Hands, Puddin Pop, and Stone Cold had a moment together watching a shooting star with Stone Cold asking the boys if they saw the shooting star, telling them to make a wish, and Puddin saying in his best 7 year old voice…”I just did..” Pretty cute.
I did miss my little English Bulldog but I’m sure he’ll be back in top form when I come back next month. Big Top was a great partner and we enjoyed working with Blazing Saddles in the sidecar doing his own thing with the sandbag that he had to carry by himself all the way there and home with no complaints. Good job Blazing, I worked on getting you out there for years and now you’re a regular and I’m trying to come back.
Good to see all of you monkey humping, merkin wearing #HIM’s. Sign up for the XMAS Party and more details coming out for the Turkey Bowl.

Moleskine:
This was a humid morning for such a workout. Pretty good group of pre-runners and I am certainly impressed not only by the endurance and strength but also by the ability to wake up at 4. Smokey was killing it on the 100 rep circuits and runs, might be time to upsize that bell sir. I haven’t done doubles in a while and they are awesome. Double cleans were my favorite and double swings my least. My partner Witch Doctor was a beast swinging those doubles and I should step up and get a real KB like his 24kg competition bell. The misshaped 50 that I offered wasn’t helpful to our team balance. I almost went out with the first ever merlot spill due to a bug to the back of the throat. You know your true friends when you’re coughing and gagging and they are still talking trash. Thanks Bulldog, and it was not a cicada. Stone Cold asked if I was ok but I could still hear him laughing at the same time. Apparently eating bugs doesn’t faze Tackling Dummy as he nonchalantly said he had just had one and it had no effect on him. Thanks to Harley and Fletch for letting me lead at A51’s hardest workout Skunkworks, not Kevlar. In my haze on the way home I tweeted #F3Kevlar because I still didn’t even know what day it was after the workout.

Announcements: Pool party $10 a family with a pig. Bring a desert and BYOB. Check the site for more details. Other things were said but you had me at BBQ, Beer, and Pool party.

Moleskine:
Good times out there this morning. I am impressed that nobody spilled merlot as I felt that I got close. The plan was to get a total body workout with legs, abs, chest, tris, bis, and what we could hit on back with thrusters and merkins. As it always does there was not much mumble chatter until we got towards the end and delirium kicked in. Funniest comment of the day, and I’m not certain who said it, was why would I want to see Axl Rose live, that’s just a fat Axl Rose singing to a fat me. Thanks for letting me lead fellas, and signup to Q Dromedary on signup genius to get your payback.
